Sounds like everything is comming along quite well. Looking forward to trooping with you, hopefully at Dreamworld.

Any thoughts on boots with a little bit of slouchy?
They’re the only boots I’ve found that hit every other criteria. There’s nothing saying they can’t have some slouch but also nothing saying they can

Unfortunately, I have the same problem with my boots which are just $20 Big W boots. I asked MammaSith about it at Supanova Gold Coast and she said that nothing could be done except for getting actual proper leather boots. Something I have found that helps is wearing multiple pairs of socks or a thick pair of socks but it's still a challenge.

Were yours approved with them slouchy?
Maybe there is hope! Just looking to buy these boots for now until I have the money to get better ones

I just made sure they weren't slouchy for the photos and I got approved. They only really started being a problem on the second day of Goldnova in April this year. That was mainly from doing a whole heap of poses and wearing them/walking in them on and off for 2 days straight. Also if you buy a pool noodle and cut it so that it's just slightly longer than the section of the boots that go up your calf it will help with the slouchiness. Here are a few links you can look at for ideas.

Sweet!! Everything looks great, it'll be nice to have another Jedi join our ranks. I would still look into doing the pool noodle idea as it will help your boots last longer.

Thank you! I don’t think I’ll be able to troop DW as it probably won’t meet approval in time which is kinda sad because last one but there’s always other events ❤️
